Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 head (medium, chopped) green cabbage
- 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
- 2 medium (sliced into thin rounds) carrots
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the pork chops on a microwave-safe plate and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
In a microwave-safe 9x13-inch casserole dish, add the chopped cabbage, onion, and carrot slices, distributing them evenly.
Dot the vegetables with butter, placing small pieces throughout. Pour chicken broth evenly over the vegetables.
Place the seasoned pork chops on top of the vegetable mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid. Make sure to leave a small gap for steam to escape.
Microwave on HIGH for 22-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender. Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so check after 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap or lid, being cautious of hot steam. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops alongside the vegetable mixture, and enjoy your hearty microwave meal!
